Man Receives Tumor instead of Kindle
Quote:
...A British man received quite a shock when the courier service that was supposed to be delivering a Kindle to his address sent him a package containing a tumor tissue sample from America instead.
The sample was supposed to be sent to the Royal Free Hospital in London, yet somehow ended up in Bristol at the home of James Potten, who had been expecting to receive the e-reader, which he had ordered online.
FedEx had initially delivered the package to Mr Potten’s door while he was out, so he contacted the courier asking them to return once he got home. The driver then headed back to the house, bearing a package with the recipient’s name and address.
However, when Mr Potten opened the parcel, he discovered a box marked “patient tumor – specimen enclosed.” After seeing this, the still Kindle-less environmental consultant got back in touch with FedEx, asking them to retrieve the package and deliver it to the correct address.
